You’re not kidding! I thought this was a parody or joke! I was laughing as I read thinking: “this is clever satire, far-fetched of course, almost believable, if not so ridiculous.” Then I finished the article; I could still not believe it was true until I followed the links to the official church website and saw for myself.

As Chris Johnson of MCJ says from time to time, it's becoming impossible to parody the Episcopal Church because everything they do is a parody anyhow.

If I didn't know better I might suspect that this was their plan all along. Want to get rid of those who parody you? Go sooooo far out in left (pun intended) field that you're impossible to pardoy. Now that's all kinds of 60's, drug-induced, brain-baked (TEC's current vapid heirarchy) brilliant!

Sadly, no, it's even worse than that. They take themselves very seriously.
